The committee met in the fall in of 2016 and early in 2017 and developed the plan over several months. Input from town residents was sought during open meetings of the Planning Commission and Selectboard. The draft plan was available to the public for comments via the town’s website and at the Town Clerk’s office.

Based on comments from the public process, the draft plan was further edited and forwarded to Vermont’ State Hazard Mitigation Officer in June 2017 for comments and preliminary approval. After a series of edits, the Planning Commission and Selectboard made a final review. The plan has been approved by regional planning. The plan was formally approved by FEMA in December 2018.
